Ditto. Even though I'm quick to scream "that spreadsheet is an abomination, you need a database", actually, my personal finances spreadsheet is not an abomination (at least, I'd like to think it's not - and after ha

In the case of Australia (my home), the casino itself is crime ridden (mainly the corporation behind the casino, and its behind-closed-doors relationships with organised crime and with government - but money laundering and other crimes also

They're definitely drunk and reckless in the afternoon. Here in Sydney, at least, utes (aka pickups) drive like absolute maniacs around 3pm, no doubt as they're heading to/from the pub.

Yes, this also made me immediately think of that chapter in Nate Silver's book ("The Signal and the Noise"). Considering what I remember Nate's musings on the topic to be, I highly doubt that this is a particularly signi

Surely you can just outsource customer service to an offshore provider that is (a) cheaper, and (b) just a company that invoices you for their time (i.e. not your employee therefore not directly owed benefits taxes etc by you)? I haven&#x27

If it's just a matter of (not) breaking ToS, then my idea of manually collating prices shouldn't be able to be shut down (or credibly threatened with being shut down). It might be a painstaking (and unsustainable) effort, but pric

Aussie here. I hadn't heard that price scraping is only quasi-legal here and that scrapers get shut down by the big supermarkets - but then again I'm not surprised. I'm thinking of starting a little price comparison site, mai

Similar issue was at play in the 2019 Whakaari / White Island eruption in New Zealand (which, sadly - unlike today's Yellowstone explosion - caused numerous deaths and serious injuries). The visitors were made to feel safer than t

I assume that the vertical recording fad primarily comes from: 1. the people doing the recording being too lazy to rotate their phones, and/or the people doing the recording catering to the lowest common denominator of expecting viewer

Yes, but there are two of them, and they're to the left and right of each other, not above and below each other.

Considering what CrowdStrike's software does, I'd say the majority of their updates could be quite easily argued as being "emergency" updates, so yeah, quite possibly they've gotten into the habit of "omg URGEN

Today's incident shows that the real problem is actually that organisations spend too much (money, but too little time / manpower) on security. Hey, third-party vendor, I'll give you all the money you want, I'll let you

Ditto as an Australian. To be fair, we have a valid historical reason for prices down here always including tax - GST (our name for VAT / sales tax) was only introduced in 2000, and before that there was never any tax involved at point

As an Australian citizen and taxpayer, I would ask that our government foots that $520k bill, and that they deduct it from the blank cheque being offered to (our?!) King Charles to pay all expenses for his planned visit down under later thi
